    Understanding Long-Term Outcomes: Dr. Alex Xu Studies Urinary Symptoms After Radical Prostatectomy

    Published in Urology, this study by Alex J. Xu, MD, and colleagues examines the long-term natural history of lower urinary tract symptoms in men followed for 15 years after open retropubic radical prostatectomy. Using the American Urological Association Symptom Index, the study offers patients and physicians a clearer picture of how urinary symptoms evolve over time following surgery. Dr. Xu's research adds meaningful long-term context to help guide patient counseling and expectations.
